dogs runny eyes
Hi Ladies
Just went to Villages Vet for this problem 2 days ago. I have an 8yr old ShihTzu - she has always had messy eyes. And it has gotten to the point that it was difficult to clean them up, on her and on me.
Dr. M did a tear test on her for dry eye -- true enough, she is not producing enough tears. Sounds strange I know, but don't believe the problem is only about having to dry up the tears. (Does that make sense.)
Anyhow, much to our dismay, she failed the tear test and he gave us a presciption that she's got to take rest of her life --- specially mixed at the Vintage Pharmacy --- $68.00/month!!!!!! BUT, we'll do it. It's all about her! :>)
FYI - he said to use a cloth of warm water, hold over eye for a minute, and then wipe ONLY in the direction of the ear for each eye.
Angel Eyes --- Linda (groomer at Village Vet, and showdog owner) recommended these highly. She said the cheapest is through Amazon.com. I got it for my sweety but she has extremely sensitive stomach and wasn't able to stay with them. I must say, though, that the few days she was on them her eyes cleared up.
Well, didn't intend to make this so long.......Hope this helps.
